Wyatt Young with the big TD. Shovel pass.

Defense needs to step up here.

 

[Leonardfan]

And the defense blows it for Ok State. Highly entertaining game regardless, Flora is a top RB in the country. Mestermaker did what he could.

If [J.J. Buchanan's] trajectory continues upwards he should be no less than a third rounder. With many NFL teams using heavy TE sets he might be able to benefit in that regard too. He could be a 1k receiver in the NFL and a red zone nightmare.

I agree, Leonardfan. No one is quite sure of Buchanan's 40 time, but it does not seem to be that bad. Fact is, he might be faster than expected? And why would that surprise anyone, as he's only a sophomore and he's skunked "affletic" DB's for an average of 16.4 yards per catch during his career. That does not scream lack of speed. Also, as you pointed out, due to his size, he can easily be "stacked" at tight end and be an NFL starter -- i.e. Terrance Ferguson.

AI Overview #1

J.J. Buchanan's estimated 40-yard dash time is 4.56 seconds (with a projected range between 4.50 and 4.62 seconds) according to Draft Scout Weekly Player Data.

J.J. Buchanan Athletic Profile

• Position: Wide Receiver / Jumbo-receiver (Michigan Wolverines, #6)
• Height & Weight: 6'3"–6'4", 218–225 lbs
• 40-Yard Dash Time: ~4.56s (Low: 4.50s, High: 4.62s)
• Vertical Jump: 40.25 inches
• Top Speed Tracked: Reported hitting up to 22 MPH in-game

AI Overview #2
A peak running speed of 22 mph is roughly equivalent to a 4.35 to 4.43-second 40-yard dash time.


P.S. Thanks again to Twenty-Two for all his great work compiling weekly stats

Thanks for the stats! Another great week for our WRs and RBs, so awesome to see. That George Dimopoulos performance was a nice surprise indeed.
